Sonny 07-446 [1]

Sonny is a sweet, gentle, loving, Teddy Bear of a dog. Did I mention gorgeous? After some confusion, we have determined he is between 2 and 3 years old.  Like most rescue dogs, Sonny has had a tough few weeks.  First, he was surrendered by his family to a Humane Society in Iowa. Reason – “they didn’t want the dog anymore.” Then he was in a kennel for more than a week, then neutered, and then driven all the way to St. Paul.  But on July 21, he arrived at his loving foster home and has settled in fine.  Upon arriving, he was given a new toy, which he loves to death. We’re not sure if he ever had a toy before, but now he carries his Hedge Hog everywhere, even when we go on walks. Supposedly, he was a farm dog and from the look of his fur coat, he clearly is used to cold temperatures.  But he is housebroken, does not chew or get into the trash and he immediately jumped up on the couch upon arrival. Sonny is a big boy, at 78 pounds with a fur coat to match. But he has the classic easy going, blocky head, gentle Golden personality that we all love.
